(IGCSE) examinations

• complete Sancta Maria’s entrance requirements

• are approved by the HOS

1. ELS (English Learning Support) – As an International School, many students arrive at the school

with a level of English language acquisition that is not adequate for them to manage mainstream

classes without support with their English language. In many cases, these students can already

communicate well in more than one language; therefore, they acquire English as an additional

language. Students are identified during the interview process or their first month at SMIS and

then included in the programme appropriately.

1. ALS (Additional Learning Support) - The School will test students who may need this service in

consultation with parents. Those needing extra support will need to submit a formal report from a

recognised and specially designed education programme devised by ALS teachers in collaboration

with regular Teachers. ALS Certification allows us to apply for special consideration in the Board

Examinations.

SCHOOL FORMS

carrying non-Indian passports to register themselves with the ‘Foreign Resident Registrar’s Office’.

Once this is done, parents must submit copies of the relevant documents to the Admissions Office.

• Indemnity Bond- The School takes exceptional care of your child and takes all feasible precautions

to keep him/her safe. Parents are required to sign the Indemnity Form at the time of admission to

cover unexpected contingencies. We also ask parents to sign a Parental Consent Form to enable the

school to make informed decisions on behalf of the student. These could include trekking, camping,

sports or cultural visits to other schools. The Teaching Staff will always accompany students.

• Parent Consent Forms – At the time of admission, parents must sign forms accepting school rules,

policies including boarding policies, fee policies and amendments, giving students consent to

participate in all activities arranged by the school. This includes all mandatory trips and excursions,

all sports activities, competitions, tournaments or festivals.

Riding facility.

required to complete the Health Form with all details. This will ensure the safety of your child. All

inoculation records and allergy conditions must be included in the form with detailed information.
